3M mag-drive pump chosen for oil-field application

The CN M50-315 3M pump from liquid handling specialist Pump Engineering has been used in a research and development laboratory for an oil-field application.

This required a pump to re-circulate dense phase CO2 at flow rates of up to 50mc/hr at 30m, with a system pressure of 200bar.

The pump was made from carbon steel with a titanium rear casing and other parts manufactured from 316L stainless steel.

According to the company, 3M mag-drive pumps have no glands, seals or valves and therefore provide reliable, leak-free operation, even in heavy-duty applications, such as transferring acids, alkalis, hydrocarbons, heat-transfer oils, liquid gases and toxic and explosive chemicals in the industrial and chemical industries.

In the food and drink industry, they are ideal for handling cleaning-in-place (CIP) chemicals, such as sodium hydroxide, nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide, and for pumping water treatment chemicals.
